Special Education Grants to States in Ohio

$1,651,834,692.24 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for Special Education Grants to States (CFDA 84.027) tagged to Ohio place of performance, across 4 awards. Four instruments against $1.65 billion imply about $412.96 million per award. The pair is the catalog line plus the OH geography field, not a nationwide 84.027 rollup. It is not Ohio Pell, not a nationwide IDEA rollup, and not Ohio's entire federal spending. Obligations are not outlays.

Four Ohio instruments on CFDA 84.027

CFDA 84.027 is titled SPECIAL EDUCATION GRANTS TO STATES. Crossed with Ohio place of performance, obligations sum to $1,651,834,692.24 on 4 awards. The national 84.027 hub includes other states. Ohio’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,651,834,692.24 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of special-education students in Ohio.

Four awards is a thin IDEA Part B pass-through with four large instruments. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $1,651,834,692.24, 4 awards, OH, and 84.027. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep Special Education Grants to States and Ohio together when reading $1,651,834,692.24.

IDEA grants to states, not Pell

Pennsylvania's 84.027 overlay in this harvest is $1,650,067,076.69 across 4 awards. Matching award counts and nearby dollar cells do not merge Ohio and Pennsylvania. Pell (84.063) is a different Education catalog. Mixing those series into $1,651,834,692.24 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Ohio, CFDA 84.027, $1,651,834,692.24, 4 awards. LEA names, child counts, and disability-category splits are unpublished.

The catalog title names Special Education Grants To States, not a ranking of Ohio school districts. Dividing $1,651,834,692.24 by 4 yields about $412.96 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 4 is not a student, LEA, or IEP census.

Ohio geography, not an LEA roster

OH is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati can share the tag. Awards coded to Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia stay outside $1,651,834,692.24 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $1.65 billion into a district special-education atlas.

Ohio federal spending is the all-program parent. 84.027 is one row on Ohio programs. $1.65 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Special Education Grants To States in Ohio for the filtered table, CFDA 84.027 for the catalog without a Ohio filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,651,834,692.24.

Four awards and a high-eight-figure mean

$1,651,834,692.24 ÷ 4 is about $412.96 million per award. That average is a high-eight-figure mean on four rows, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 4 as a record count, not as 4 unique LEAs or 4 named disability categories.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 4 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,651,834,692.24 without changing the join key of 84.027 and OH. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,651,834,692.24 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Special Education Grants to States plus Ohio. Do not treat $1,651,834,692.24 as an outlay series.

What Ohio special-education grants do not prove

A large 84.027 total tagged to Ohio does not measure whether identification rates rose in Ohio, and it does not equal services already delivered. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,651,834,692.24 on 4 awards for Special Education Grants to States in Ohio.

Keep both sides of the join: Special Education Grants To States and Ohio, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,651,834,692.24 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 4 as a student, LEA, or IEP census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an IEP-wait narrative. Cite Special Education Grants to States together with Ohio whenever you reuse $1,651,834,692.24.

Citing IDEA grants in Ohio

The overlay target is the Ohio × CFDA 84.027 table. Open Special Education Grants To States in Ohio when you want the same $1,651,834,692.24 / 4-award cell in the site’s data chrome.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Ohio won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 84.027 plus OH. Obligations of $1,651,834,692.24 are not outlays. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 84.027 × OH pair. 4 remains an award-record count, not a person, facility, or project census. IDEA Part B state grants often post as a handful of large assistance instruments. Four Ohio rows against $1,651,834,692.24 imply about $413 million per award as a ratio, almost the same scale as Pennsylvania's four-award 84.027 cell. That arithmetic does not rank the two states. Cincinnati sitting on the Kentucky line does not pull KY-coded awards into this overlay.
